Caliper bolt

[Eddie21]

Just put in my brake pads. My rear top caliper bolt keeps spinning. I took it out and the threads are oddly perfect on the bolt. Any idea? TIA

Make sure that you are securing the inner nut.

Yeah I’m holding with an open end wrench while turning it. Not sure what it is. I took it out and the thread is perfect.

If the threads aren't biting at all, would remove and examine threads on the inner nut.

Do you happen to have the part number or name for it? I can’t seem to find it. I found the bolt, but not the nut. Thank you.

I had the same issue. Those are the caliper slide pins. Carlson 14191. Toyota doesn’t offer this part separately. https://www.amazon.com/Carlson-1419...lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

THANKS MAN!

Thank @razorlab haha he helped me at the time. Also, you will need to get the rubber bushings as they don’t come with them. I was able to find them at my local autozone

My power stop Z23 came brake pads came with rubbber bushings so I’m hoping those fit. If not do you know what kind you got? Yeah I see that guy answering everything, he’s like google on our forums haha.

The powerstop Z23 rubber sleeves fit. You can also reuse OEM if it looks to be in good shape.

Do you just pull out the old caliper slide pins, or do need to do something when replacing them? Thank you.

Yep, they pop right out. Just apply some grease to them with the rubber bushings and you’ll be good to go, be careful to not torque the bolts too tight as this is why the slide pin keeps spinning. It is very easy to strip the threads on the caliper pin
